Okay, in the faint hopes of getting this straight, the three are different because they work on different principles. All three of them are effectively controlled by willpower, and they are often used to achieve similar results, but the differences are roughly like using a plane, a sailboat, or shank's-mare to get from one place to another.

Psi talents are powered entirely by the strength of an individual's mind, and tend to be limited, except in isolated extreme cases, in reach to that person's immediate environment.

Force talents are powered by sensing the lifeforce which connects all things, or at least one's own lifeforce, channeling it and manipulating it to create certain effects. This has more potentially powerful effects than psi, but psi scores over the Force in precision telepathy and certain other aspects.

Magic, put bluntly, is the temporary rewriting of the universe for the user's benefit. A sorcerer's skill is directly in proportion to their intelligence, their training, and their force of personality. There is no -apparent- hard upper or lower limit to what magic can do, but even a tiny screw-up can have REALLY bad consequences.

To give an idea of the general mentality behind the three disciplines...

Hypothetical: Subject is presented with a cave, blocked by an avalanche of large boulders. Subject must clear the cave mouth.

PsiCop: Mentally coerces several people with mining tools to clear the path.
Jedi: Senses the one rock which, when removed, will loosen the rest, and either cuts it or telekinetically nudges it.
Sorcerer: DRAGON SLAVE!
